He's only 17, is he supposed to come across like an expert in the two fields after having just left school? Jesus, some of these replies are pretty negative.

Just go for whatever you want. At the end of the day you'll do anything you want to do if you are interested and you work hard. There will be plenty of people along the way who say you can't do things etc, but just make your own mind up and go for whatever you choose. Ultimately, what other people say is just opinion, and has no bearing on whether you achieve something or not... that bit is down to you.

If you aren't sure, there's no pressure to do either right now. There's nothing to stop you finding a part time job just to get by and live your life until you can decide.
